Ripsnorts picks:

Ripsnort review is....

AFC:
Steelers dominate New England right out of the gate, would be a more interesting game if the Raiders had advanced...
Steelers 35  N.E. 10

NFC:
Philly comes out with trick plays, gets 7 on the board first, then Rams hammar down with one of the biggest offensive lines in the game, with Faulk getting 150 all-purpose yards.
Rams 42 Philly 17

My picks last week were:
NE over Raiders (won)
Chicago over Philly (Lost)
Rams over GB (won)
Steelers over Ravens (won)

Edit: So far I am 12-1 on my superbowl picks in the last 13 years...I learned never to bet money on the Superbowl and you win, and...never bet on Buffalo (my one loss)

I will be routing on Philly and New England, I always route for the underdog!

Thesaurus has nothing showing that root is to cheer on a team, however, the term "Route" (Depending on where you live, its pronounced either "root" or "Rout") means to "go down the same direction, path", therefore :Route: is correct. :)

Rip, look up Root in Webster's Dictionary  (http://www.webster.com).  The 4th root is an intransitive verb.

1 : to noisily applaud or encourage a contestant or team : CHEER
2 : to wish the success of or lend support to someone or something
- root·er noun

:p

uhmm, go Steelers.  (my stepbro likes 'em, I couldn't care less who wins since it doesn't involve any team I like or any team I hate)

You did Bro, you did.  Luckily I don't have a pre-1991 Eastern block ego and can admit when I'm wrong :)

LOL!  Rip, I almost needed a Heimlich while reading that.  Food, BBS's, and Ripsnorts don't mix very well!

I like the Redskins' chances. I think they'll take it all.
